Once again, UCLA blows out a Pac-12 opponent in the first half behind Lonzo Ball, T.J. Leaf, and Bryce Alford, and then coasts to victory in cruise control. On Sunday night against Stanford, the Bruins shot out to an 18-point lead at halftime, built it up to 23 in the second half, then, as usual, eased up a bit. The Cardinal cut the lead to 11 before the Bruins put it out of reach, ending up with an 89-75 victory. That’s an improvement over the previous game, when UCLA allowed Cal to within 5 before clamping down.
And for the second game in a row, there were clearly 3 Bruin stars outplaying the rest of the team.
